MOSCOW — CONSCIENCES EASED. The Soviet Union has freed all detainees known in the West as ''Prisoners of Conscience,'' a government minister said in a press interview published on Sunday. They included all those held for religious activities, First Deputy Interior Minister Leonid Sizov told the newspaper Komsomolskaya Pravda. A year ago, 45 people still were being held on charges related to religion.
